So I've been in Temple for about 5 weeks now. It is crazy how fast time flies here. It's been interesting because we've had general and stake conference. I've only attended out ward three times. I wish I knew the ward a little better because Elder Bevan will probably be transferred in about a week and a half.
We had to push back the baptismal date we had with Clifford. He is scheduled to be baptised this coming Saturday. He has read and prayed like we've asked and feels that he knows it is true. He was raised Jehovah Whiteness, so he says there are a few beliefs that are a little hard to leave behind but he is excited to be baptised. We just need to keep him out of the pool hall where he used to hang out so he can stay away from cigarettes and coffee.
We attended the ward Halloween party on Saturday. We had about 6 people we've been working with there. The ward did a very good job of making everyone feel comfortable. We had a part member family there and their infant won one of the costume contests.
Last night (for Halloween) we were not allowed to go out. We got with our district and had a district meeting up in Waco. After the meeting we stayed at another missionaries apartment so we could participate in a P Day activity. After studies and things this morning we played some football and capture the flag. It was pretty fun. I really enjoy being in a more social environment than a companionship.
Well the church is still true here in Temple TX. I love y'all. Pray for missionaries and don't be scared to open your mouth to friends. Teaching members friends is way more productive than knocking doors.
Love, Elder Rindlisbacher
PS Thanks for the pictures and the pictures to come. Rachel sure has grown. Especially her hair. .
